Thermal Mechanics Error

Hi Keen Guys!

So something has been bugging me since the release of the survival overhaul. Do you guys have thermal dynamics correct in the game? Let me clarify; Space is a vacuum, the best insulator. It takes an exposed human body 10.59 hours to freeze solid in shaded vacuum and 26.52 hours in sunlit vacuum and if your albedo was 0.175 in the shade it would never freeze. We also know that the space suit astronauts use is insulated and will trap heat in so the only real heat issue with the SE space suit in a vacuum is how much energy would it take to keep the suit from overheating. And on the other side of Thermal Dynamics, why does the suit register Mars as warm? Mars has a thin atmosphere, a medium to transfer heat away from the suit and Mars is kinda chilly with the warmest temperature reaching 70 degrees Fahrenheit at the equator. These links describes in better detail https://www.quora.com/How-long-would-it-take-for-a-human-being-to-freeze-solid-in-outer-space https://www.space.com/16907-what-is-the-temperature-of-mars.html So do you guys have the energy consumption of the suit right?
